Dealing with Incontinence can be a very difficult thing to do for Elderly and Senior individuals who have it as well as the primary caregiver.  Although they need help, the Elderly individual may feel ashamed after an accident and not want their caregiver to help clean, but they have to tolerate it because they can’t clean themselves.  The caregiver may be worried or embarrassed about going out in public in case the incontinence individual has an accident.  There are ways to make incontinence more manageable, such as with purchasing incontinence pads/pants, adult diapers, absorbent undersheets, and waterproof bed sheets.  Trying to find a patter in the Elderly individual’s bathroom time throughout the day can help you form a bathroom trip schedule.  This article titled Coping with Your Emotions is from the point of view of an incontinent individual, but it applies to family caregivers as well in disclosing your loved one’s problem to other friends and family.
